TEMPO™ Automation Control Software

Dynamic Scheduling for Automation Systems

TEMPO™ Automation Control Software is a research-friendly interface for scheduling Access System protocols. It manages all tasks — including sample management, plate handling, liquid handling, detection, and LIMS updates. TEMPO™ is included with all Access Systems and interfaces directly with all compatible versions of Echo® Software Applications.

  • Set up email alerts and notifications
  • Monitor device use and maintenance
  • Track incubation variances
  • Stagger the tasks in a process
  • Compare runs with Gantt charts
  • Manage plates and data in real time
  • Activate structured error recovery
  • Customize reports
  • Validate custom runs

Simplify Prioritization and Tracking

Automatically prioritize and track a protocol from storage to detection. Integrated Echo Liquid Handlers are assigned the highest priority, followed by user-defined priorities. This approach simplifies scheduling without compromising flexibility. In the event of an error, the software provides real-time plate and device information, greatly accelerating recovery. It accommodates a variety of input and output file formats.
